WatchKit App doesn't contain any WatchKit Extensions

Question

While archiving an iOS app on Xcode during the compilation phase; I get the error -

"error: WatchKit App doesn't contain any WatchKit Extensions. Verify that the value of NSExtensionPointIdentifier in your WatchKit Extension's Info.plist is set to com.apple.watchkit." even though I have confirmed that this is set correct.

Then, why is this happening?

Thanks

Answer 1

Check build settings in watchappextension target if you have correct watch extension Info.plist file path. In my case, i had watch plist set.

Answer 2

I had similar issue. To solve that, I've modified the extension identifier so that it has watchkit's identifier as prefix. This is because, unless identifiers are prefix, those won't be allowed to embed on Xcode settings.

Check list:

1. In main iOS app settings on general tab, add your watchkit app in the embedded binaries section. Note that, if you ever deleted build folder, the embedded watchkit app may not be displayed in this section even if you just added there.

2. Make sure you see the watchkit app both in target dependancy & embedded binaries section. If not, add them on the build phases tab of your iOS app.

3. Now on settings of watchkit app, add your extension in the embedded binaries.

4. You should see the watchkit extension both in target dependancy & embedded binaries section. If not, add them on the build phases tab of your watchkit app.

5. On build settings of the extension, make sure bitcode is enabled. Base sdk should be latest iOS sdk.

6. See the watchkit app identifier is a prefix of the extension. I've renamed the product module (both for watchkit app & extension) to avoid spaces.

You should now be able to build or archive with proper mobile provisions. By the way, my Xcode version is 9.3.
